Recycle Thread

Recycling is big these days. So this thread is for recycling ideas and projects.

This is a link for making lunch containers from plastic milk/juice jugs and cardboard containers:

FamilyFun: Reusable Lunch Containers - and More Family Fun

Plenty of supermarkets are now encouraging shoppers to bring their own reusable bags. Here's a link that shows you how to make a shopping bag from all those t-shirts that are too big for you to wear.

Re: Recycle Thread

I'm older so my family taught us to be thrifty and reuse things. Who knew we'd be in vogue someday! I'm also from New England...home of the frugal Yankee. AND I live on Cape Cod where former hippies and natural food/living types have been doing this for years.

I'll put together some links and ideas and post them to this thread. Great idea...thanks for starting this.

Re: Recycle Thread

I'm a pennypincher...er..."old school recycler" too.

I thought the milk jug container thing was very clever. I'll have to get an empty milk jug from my god-children so I can try it out.
